[SLUG] High res tiffs in a LaTeX document

Howdy. Has anyone had experience with putting high resolution graphics (tiff files) into a latex document? I am having no joy at the moment. I need to keep the images (pretty rendered ones) at as high a res as possible... TIA Stephen -- Time was invented so that everything in the

[SLUG] XFree86 badness

Hey, Two days ago I apt-got the latest (woody) version of XFree86: XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) I can now no longer run X. When I try to kick off xdm or startx I get the following message: snip - the output is large and I

[SLUG] How does Firewire stack up?

Hey I will heed to be getting a bunch of new external devices over the next couple of months, and was wondering how firewire stacks up against SCSI. I would rather not invest in something which is to be obscelete in 6 months (former Amstrad owner here...). Firewire compares quite favourable

Re: [SLUG] Kernel Compile and Debian

You have tried make modules_install have you not? You have also make sure to keep modules support in the kernel? (Dumb questions I know, but I have screwed up on them before) Stephen -- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember, it did not help the rabbit much -- R.E.

[SLUG] Quick bash/ps question

Hey I am in the middle of writing a tiny bash script (so that I can use mpage to make my HP DeskJet500C print double sided and two per page). I was just wondering if anyone knew how to divine the number of pages contained in a postscript file (a script-friendly way, ie without looking at the

[SLUG] Printing woes

Hey all. I have a printing bug that I think will be dead obvious to someone else, I just can not see what it is. I am trying to print to a HP DeskJet 500C attached to a WinNT box (which is SMBed). When I print, all I get is: GSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGS on

[SLUG] Printing (Debian/Samba)

Hey SLUGers, I have a HP DeskJet 500C attached to a WinNT machine, and I am trying to set up printing from my Debian (stable) box. I have gotten a fair way down the track... I can print text files to the printer (ie 'cat /etc/fstab | lpr'). The only problem with doing this is that the file

Re: [SLUG] Win Networking

is it actually possible for a Windows machine to use more then one network adaptor... ie. with a modem and NIC Yeah, this should not be a problem. It is much easier with NT, but Win platforms allow it. Make sure that your DNS resolution is set up so that it uses a remote name server, and you

Re: [SLUG] Hi (fwd)

That is the message I always used to get when I was doing an X connection over an unauthorised ssh connection. Have they tried the Xauth file to see if it exists and is correct. Is the X-Server a local or remote one? Can root get X? (Has Xconfigurator been run at any point?) Cheers Stephen

[SLUG] Forwarding FTP connections to an internal server (continued)

Hey I just thought I would report the (quite unfortunate) results of my attempts so far (on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, the firewall machine is also ip masquerading (successfully) some internal hosts for web, outbound FTP etc)... I tried simply forwarding port 21 to the internal FTP server, but this
